During Bison at Annapolis, Howard University's Office of External Affairs honored 13 distinguished state legislators with Howard ties during the 446th session of Maryland's General Assembly. This historic event, following Governor Wes Moore's inauguration, recognized the largest Black state legislative caucus in the country and our President Ben Vinson III, Ph.D., along with other Howard leaders and students.
President Vinson encapsulated the spirit of the night: "You all are the role models proving to our students that they can also be the change they want to see in this state, in our country, and across the world."
This is more than a celebration; it's a testament to the impact and legacy of Howard University and its alumni in shaping a better and brighter world.
